Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[ksbkeys]

If you live long enough, you experience a few things:

Finding out your parents/elders were right, dangit! about a lot of things;
Passing those lessons to another generation, who may or may not take those lessons to heart;
Having a lot of cool/weird/wonderful experiences;
Being able to do cool/weird/wonderful things with the greatest machine you will ever know, ie, your body;
Not being able to do some of those things any more;
And, hardest of all, losing people who have taken up residence in your heart.

Those rooms in your heart are not empty if they're filled with memories.

Hugs to anyone whose steps are echoing in those rooms right now.

So beautifully written!!!

I cant write better words of comfort than the previous posters, therefore I keep it simple. To all who are in a difficult time bc of losses, health, or whatever you have been gone through:

In just under a year, my dad died, my youngest son died, and now my mom has passed last week, if it wasn't for the chickens, turkeys and dogs, counting on me to sustain them, I don't think I would get out of bed any more. They show me that despite all the sorrow, there is still joy in the simple things.

Bless you.

Now we need to see one of those.

This is still one of the more flattering ones (for both of us)

I hope things get better soon or the pain becomes easier to live with (delete as applicable) for all of you.

Life's harsh. Chickens make it better.
